• The playable format for the iPod is determined in
accordance with the specifications of the iPod. How-
ever, contents recorded at the sampling rate of 32 kHz
cannot be played.
• Some types of AAC files may not be played.
• Music files which are copyright protected cannot be
played.
• When a file created in unsupported sampling rate or
bit rates is played, playback may be stopped or
become intermittent, or loud noises or speaker damage
may occur.
• Do not use each specified file extension for a file in a
different format. The CD/HDD receiver tries to play-
back it and this may result in skipped playback, noises
or failure.
• In the following cases, the elapsed time of playback
may be different from the actual time.
- When a VBR (Variable Bit Rate) file is played
- When fast reverse or fast forward is performed
• The maximum time that can be displayed for a single
file is 99 minutes and 59 seconds.
• The remaining time cannot be displayed.
• The following ID3 tags are supported: versions 1.0/1.1
and 2.2/2.3/2.4. Versions 2.5 and later are not sup-
ported. Normally, version 2.2/2.3/2.4 tags have prior-
ity and will be displayed.
• For ID3 version 2 tags, the tag information recognized
will be those embedded in the beginning of the file.
Onkyo recommend that you include only title, artist
name, and album name information in ID3 tags. Com-

pressed, encrypted, and unsynchronized ID3 tags can-
not be displayed.
• The ID3 tag information may be displayed in only 31
characters depending on the file.
• The CD/HDD receiver supports up to 500 files and
folders per disc. Files and folders in excess of this can-
not be played. Note that if the file and folder structure
is very complicated, the CD/HDD receiver may not be
able to read or play all of the files.
• With CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs that contain
many files and folders and files (not limited to music
files), it may take a long time to read the disc. Onkyo
recommend that you include only music files on your
discs, use about 20 folders, and limit folder nesting to
three levels deep.
• The Emphasis is not supported.
• Multisession discs are not supported.
■ Levels of Music Files and Playback Order
Albums (folders) or tracks recorded in a data CD or USB
storage device are recognized in hierarchical structure,
and played back in ascending order of 1 to 7 in the exam-
ple below.
When an album contains sub albums, tracks in the sub
albums have priority for playback. (Example: Because
album B contains sub album C, track 3 will be played
after track 2 instead of track 6 or 7.)
Depending on the disc burner used during recording of
the music files, the tracks may not be played in the order
shown in the figure.
Example of levels:
Disc or USB
1st level
device
A
1

E

Note:
For the data CD with music files recorded, the CD/HDD
receiver can display up to eight levels deep. Also, depending
on the restrictions of your personal computer, the display
may be limited.
